SUSPENDER END.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 622,594, datedApril 4, 1899.

Application filed December 2, 1897. $erial No. 660,496. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM BLOOMBERG, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Suspender-Ends, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to the end members of suspenders, which comprise the tabs containing the buttonholes, and has for its object to provide a strong and durable suspender-end adapted not only for connection with the buttons of the trousers, but also to support the intermediate clasp which is usually provided for appliances of this character.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, aswill be hereinafter fully set forth,

and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawingsfiorming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 represents a front view of my improved Suspender-end and a portion of the suspender-strip to which it is attached. Fig.

. 2 represents a back View of a portion of the in Fig. 3, the straps c 0 being at the inner sides of the tabs on and at an acute angle thereto. The neck I) is then rounded by stitching its edges together, thus adapting it to pass through the supporting-loop d, which is attached to the Suspender-strip e.

f represents a metallic socket which 0011- nects a clasp f, of any suitable construction, with the free ends of the straps c c, said ends being brought together and clamped within the socket f, which thus unites the lower ends of the two straps o c. The angular position of said straps relatively to the tabs a a enables the ends of the straps to approach each other and hold the clasp at the proper angle.

It will be seen that my improved suspenderend is exceedingly simple as well as strong and durable in construction.

The supporting-loop d is detachably connected at one end to the suspender-strip by a fastening device similar to that used on gloves, &c., and comprising a stud d and a socket 61 the loop being thus adapted to be opened to release the suspender-end. The straps c 0, made integral with the neck and tabs, connect the drawers-supporting clasp f directly with the suspender-end, so that when the latter is detached by the opening of the loop 01 the clasp f is also detached by the same operation.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A Suspender-end composed of the buttonhole-tabs, the neck connecting said tabs and made integral therewith, two clasp-supporting straps integral withthe tabs and neck, and a clasp or fastening device secured to and uniting the lower ends of the straps, the two clasp-supporting straps extending from the main part at points each side of the center of the neck and at an angle thereto.

2. The combination of a Suspender-strip, a suspender-end-supporting loop thereon adapted to be opened, a suspender-end comprising buttonhole-tabs, a neck connecting said tabs and made integral therewith, said neck being formed to engage the loop, two clasp-supporting straps integral with the tabs and neck, anda clasp secured to and uniting the lower ends of the straps, said clasp and the suspender-end being attachable and detachable to and from the suspender-strip and as one part, the two clasp-supporting straps extending from the main part at points each side of the center of the neck and at an angle thereto.
